Morning all,

Quick question regarding networks. I've been roped into helping set up a small network to share an internet connection.

The PC's in question all have integrated NIC's and the ADSL router has 4 ports for it.

The only problem is there are 5 PC's.

Whats the easiest way to do this?

Pop an extra NIC into one of the systems and share its connection or get a cheap switch to put into the uplink port of the router (a Linksys 4 port ADSL one)

Any advise gratefully received.
